Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of the foundation is to seek funding to support hearing impaired infants and children and their families through identification, therapy and education.

Historically, the Sound Start Babies Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, a non-profit corporation conducted charitable and educational activities and sought funding to support infants and children with hearing loss from birth through age three and their families through identification, therapy, and education. Effective July 20, 2020, the Sound Start Babies Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, a 501(c) (3) corporation, took a new name and became the Sound Start Babies Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children (the Program) emphasizing the programmatic portion of their responsibilities. At that time the Program board of dedicated volunteers began to fully manage and administer the early intervention program including payroll and operational activities. A new entity known as the Sound Start Foundation (the Foundation) was created to continue fundraising efforts to provide financial support to the Sound Start Babies Program. The Sound Start Babies Program has
